Location was great as was breakfast. Excellent orange juice! Room was larger than usual even though it was a triple room. Staff made everything possible to make us feel at home and gave us plenty of information. They even drove us to the Neocueva because the taxi would take too long, that is great service!!!

Really lovely building, felt very authentic. The pool was an added bonus. The room was big and had good facilities, the bed was very comfortable. Was a stone's throw from Santillana del mar, just outside of the village with parking. The breakfast for 10 euro was really good, you really got you're money's worth. Would really recommend this hotel, exceptional value for money. Staff were really nice and it's easy to visit surrounding towns.

This is a beautiful little medieval town with cobbled streets and impressive ancient buildings. A central feature is the large cathedral of Colegiata of St. Juliana, where you can visit the cloisters or attend Catholic mass. It stands in a square which is bordered by an art museum (Jesus Otero). A few cobbled streets run off the square, with plenty of restaurants and hotels to choose from. They are proud of their cheese and other local produce, so there are several shops dedicated to this. The Conventa Clarisas (convent of the poor Clares) is also very charming and is famous for its pastries for sale. We stayed in the beautiful Hotel Casa del Marques, whose staff were very friendly and welcoming, in a well-appointed and spacious room with large comfortable bed, seating areas and ensuite, all in keeping with the charming classic style of the hotel. We also spent a night at the Hotel los Infantes, which is impressively grand. It is easy to access this small town on foot, but it is possible to drive through the cobbled streets and there is a public car park which is free. The town is not actually on the coast, but is 10 minutes' drive from pretty local beaches.

This is a must-see, very beautiful town.
This is a must-see, very beautiful town. It is close to the Altamira Caves, although we decided not to visit them. We ate in a little restaurant at the square and the food was incredible and very cheap. We got to Santillana del Mar by car and it was easy to find, parking is available and overnight parking was free.

Santillana del Mar is a well preserved historic town in beautiful setting. Lovely to walk the cobbled streets and soak in the ambiance of the old town. The Catholic Church was really interesting as was local museum- downside was no English signage in either.
Barely 2km from town is the astounding Cave of Altamira and museum. They have protected these prehistoric caves by building a museum containing an accurate replica of the caves and artwork. That alongside a fascinating exhibition of the era concerned made for a compelling visit. In high season, best to get there early as there are limited numbers going through the museum. Lovely walking through area and viewing (from distance) original cave entrance. Beautifully maintained and very helpful staff. Information in Spanish & English.
Multitude of cafe/restaurants in old town with great food

This place is unique, as are each of the houses / places to stay - so much character! The church of Santa Juliana is a gem, and the 12th century cloister is amazing. The village is a lovely blend of culture and country - incredible architecture and free-range chickens / horses. Altogether delightful!

Santillana del Mar is a beautiful village with some lovely buildings but is leaning towards being overly touristy and much of what was on sale was repetitive and not great quality.
However, it has a superb ceramics shop - if you are interested in lovely pieces then do visit ARPA.Also a lovely little leather goods sho[ and a couple of decent jewellers .

Love this hotel in the centre of Santillana. We stopped off before catching the ferry the next day, so handy for Santander. It is a smaller Parador which I prefer. Very friendly service throughout. Lovely old building and fabulous landing where the bedrooms on first floor leed off. All stylised in keeping with this lovely old building. Food I felt was better than some of the other Paradores we stayed at on our trip. Whilst it doesn't advertise car charging, we were able to charge our electric car in the garage there.
Breakfast was quite nice. They required guests to select one of three hour long windows the night before. Parking behind the hotel was available by prearrival request. Or you can use the public parking lot to the right just after you turn off of the the main road. When you enter the old town where the hotel is located you see signage that indicates no entry entry. Authorized vehicles only. Ignore this you are authorized. The hotel provided detailed directions
It's important to keep in mind that Santillana del Mar is a very busy place in August, so it was nice the hotel had a private parking next to the hotel. The gentleman at the front desk was quite helpful and the breakfast was nice and basic. We had a quite room and the hotel a two/three minute walk from the main town area.
The hotel is nestled in the surroundings of a very beautiful village. The staff was delightful from the moment we set foot inside. The room was truly comfortable and the bed, great. There are so many things to do and explore in and around the village; we will be back and will definitely stay at the hotel again.
Great location close to the centre of the beautiful village of Santillana del Mar.
Plenty of off street safe parking.
Lovely looking property with country views to the village.
Run by very friendly and helpful people.
Room was clean and comfortable with a great shower.
Would definitely stay again.
Nice quirky hotel just outside the old part of the town. Easy to walk into the town and explore. Excellent final stop on a motorcycle tour of Northern Spain / Portugal and final stop before Santander ferry which is half an hour along the motorway. Plenty of available parking, decent meal.
Beautiful hotel in one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Cosy and comfortable room fully equipped and decorated with a beautiful taste. Breakfast was super nice. Good quality and variety. Staff was amazingly warm. We would rate our experience as a 10 out of 10
It was convenient being able to arrive late (with the key under the door mat) and it was nice not to navigate in-town parking…BUT there were some very nice and hotel options that would have made it worth the hassle
This is a great location for visiting Santillana Del Mar and is within easy walking distance from the town with car parking facilities and a great outside seating area. Friendly and welcoming at reception.
Hotel was located in a beautiful village. The Staff were very helpful. The restaurant evening meal was really good as was the Breakfast with plenty of choice. Would certainly stay at this hotel again.
We love that this beautifully appointed little hotel, perfectly situated, has remained affordable. Thank you so much for that. It's a great alternative to an albergue while on the Camino
The staff spoke surprisingly good English. She was very helpful. The location is perfect for Altamira museum and Santillana del Mar. Quiet place with plenty of parking in the yard.
We were in Santillana Del Mar to visit the nearby caves. The location was fantastic, just a sort drive away. We were also close enough to walk to town. Totally perfect!!
Centrally located in Santillana del Mar with attractive looking communal facilities, outdoor seating area (though with only 6 seats) and parking. Staff spoke good English.
The location was beautiful, very close to the centre of Santillana del Mar. The room was also very nice and clean, huge bed and nice modern bathroom. Secure place to park.
